A mentor is someone who you can call right after you sign up with a company. Not a person who has a "get you in the deal "mentality and then they are gone.
A true mentor is someone who will guide you but not carry you.A mentor is a friend and will advise you.A mentor will listen to what you have to say but with the same token you need to do the same back.Respect each others time.
A mentor is someone who will inform you of the upcoming changes in the company but you are also responsible to find out whst is happening by asking.
Remember this is your business too. What ever you put into it is what you will get out of it.Learn from your mentor ,for someday you will be someone's mentor. Wear the badge of honor proudly.
Be a true leader. Expand you leadership skills .Don't know how then ask.Be prepared. Be organized.
Care about your team. Get to know them . Really know them. Support each other during difficult times. Celebrate in triumph. BE A TRUE FRIEND.
